Using the Media to Achieve Reproductive Health and Gender Equity Preface by Werner Haug Director, Technical Division United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is an international development “Because agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using population data everyone for policies and programs to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV, and every girl and counts” woman is treated with dignity and respect. For over 40 years, UNFPA has sought to improve reproductive health in the developing world, with a special emphasis on women’s empowerment, gender equality, and HIV prevention. UNFPA works to help governments worldwide to develop evidence-based programs and policies, based on solid data and best practices in the field. UNFPA’s work is guided by key principles, as documented in the landmark Cairo Programme of Action, which continues to guide governments and the international community and contribute to our work to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The Cairo Programme of Action calls for “…greater and more effective use of the entertainment media, including radio and television soaps operas and drama, folk theatre and other traditional media to encourage public discussion of important but sometimes sensitive topics related to the implementation of the present Programme of Action.” (ICPD Programme of Action, Article 11.23) This publication is designed to aid UNFPA’s partners to more effectively use the media, especially entertainment programs, to help audience members achieve reproductive health and gender equity. The various chapters present best practices in the field of entertainment-education for social change. We encourage media practitioners to make use of the wealth of knowledge presented in this compilation to build a better world for us all. Preface by William N. Ryerson President, Population Media Center Every day, more than 225,000 people are added to the planet. Every day, “Acting for approximately 100 other species go extinct. These figures, as terrifying as they are, mask the human suffering that is Change” at the heart of the global population crisis. All over the world, women suffer disproportionately from a lack of information about family planning, reproductive health services, and the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Every year, 343,000 women die from pregnancy and childbirth – a figure equal to the number of the American soldiers killed in the Civil War, World War I, the Korean War and Vietnam combined. Most of the women who die are in their teens and early twenties, forced by their societies into bearing children too young and far too frequently. Data from demographic surveys worldwide make it clear that non-use of family planning often results from misinformation and male opposition – exactly the types of barriers that entertainment-education programs can most effectively overcome. Population Media Center, Inc. (PMC) is a nonprofit international nongovernmental organization working worldwide to promote use of effective communication strategies for promoting behavior change to encourage family and reproductive health. In 2005, UNFPA commissioned PMC to develop a training guide for journalists and media personnel in how to develop effective behavior change communication programs employing entertainment-education techniques. As a companion piece to that training guide, this manual documents best practices from different communication strategies aimed at improving reproductive health, gender equity and mitigation of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. To develop the manual, PMC held a seminar of researchers, writers, producers, and program managers who are using entertainment-education in various contexts worldwide to compare obstacles and lessons learned and to share best practices in use of the approach. The papers that were presented during that seminar were compiled into the present document. We encourage you to make use of the wealth of knowledge presented in this compilation to use mass media to promote positive social change. Table of Contents Preface I.

INTRODUCTION The Sabido methodology is a proven approach to developing effective mass-media serial dramas. However, unlike typical “soap operas,” Sabido-style serial dramas are not used to sell sex or soap, but rather, social change. In this chapter we explore the Sabido methodology and the reasons why this theory-based approach to behavior change communication has been so successful. How do Sabido-style serial dramas differ from “soaps” and how does the Sabido methodology differ from other entertainment-education approaches? Why do audiences from the Philippines to India, from Tanzania to Ethiopia, and from Mexico to Bolivia find these dramas irresistible – and much more than merely educating in an entertaining way? And what does the future hold for the application of the Sabido methodology to Miguel Sabido rethinking the very foundation of comprehensive behavior 2. RESULTS change communication programs?

The developing world today faces enormous difficulties, and those challenges are made more daunting when women lack the information they need about family planning, reproductive health services, or the prevention of HIV/AIDS. I also see firsthand how important it is to elevate the status of women and combat such harmful social practices as female genital mutilation, child marriage, INTRODUCTION and marriage by abduction. And I am gratified when I see the surveys that document how our programs are successfully changing attitudes and behaviors and promoting positive social change. But I also see in my travels how much work remains to be done. It’s a big world out there, and measured by population, it’s getting bigger – an additional 228,262 people per day.

  • THE EFFECTIVENESS of ENTERTAINMENT MASS MEDIA in CHANGING BEHAVIOR by William N
    THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ENTERTAINMENT MASS MEDIA IN CHANGING BEHAVIOR By William N. Ryerson, President, Population Media Center There is strong evidence that mass media, particularly entertainment broadcast media, have played a significant role in a number of countries in bringing about changes in reproductive behavior and in promoting adoption of other health measures. Radio and television soap operas in Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Mexico, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, St. Lucia, and Tanzania have been documented by independent research in their massive effects on audience attitudes and behavior with regard to HIV/AIDS avoidance and use of family planning (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). One of the advantages of using serial dramas, as opposed to documentaries or single-episode dramas, is that they allow time for the audience to form bonds with the characters and allow characters to evolve in their thinking and behavior with regard to various issues at a gradual and believable pace in response to problems that have been well illustrated in the story line. Just as important, entertainment programs forge emotional ties to audience members that influence values and behaviors more forcefully than the purely cognitive information provided in documentaries. In addition, the emotional context of a melodrama improves retention of lessons learned by the audience, in much the same way that we remember the details of where we were on September 11, 2001 much more clearly than on an ordinary day. As described in the social learning theory of Stanford University psychologist Albert Bandura, vicarious learning from others is a powerful teacher of attitudes and behavior (7).

The techniques range from simple hyperlinks to highly complex functions as in videogames. These works draw from the traditions of print literature as well as from the digital culture that has shaped this era: hypertext, algorithms, text reordering, text fragmentation, multimedia creations, and almost anything else the computer is capable of. As each work discussed here is unique, a different theoretical approach is used for each. iv Table of Contents Introduction: Playing the Text .
